It's Tuesday night and Walter Moore, candidate for Los Angeles mayor, is on the air and taking calls. Ripping the record of the current officeholder, Antonio Villaraigosa, consumes a major chunk of his hour with KABC's John Phillips. "Ask yourself, how would the city be different if it were expressly run by developers, gangs and the nation of Mexico? You'd be hard pressed to come up with any policy changes," Moore tells listeners. The often caustic world of L.A. talk radio, which has never been friendly environs for the mayor, has become a comfort zone for Moore's long-shot campaign to...

Villaraigosa has an impressive list of Hollywood supporters: Casey Wasserman (grandson of the legendary Lew Wasserman); Disney Chief Executive Robert Iger; HBO Films President Colin Callender; media mogul Haim Saban; Laker great Magic Johnson; 20th Century Fox Co-Chairman Jim Gianopulos; director-producer Jerry Zucker; syndicated television mogul Michael King; writer-TV producers Linda Bloodworth-Thomason and Harry Thomason;superagent Patrick Whitesell; DreamWorks Animation Chief Executive Jeffrey Katzenberg; William Morris head Jim Wiatt; News Corp. President Peter Chernin. So far no other major candidate has declared, but there other people thinking about running -- namely billionaire mall magnate Rick Caruso. When reached by cellphone this...

KABC weekend host Rob Nelson interviewed Los Angeles mayoral candidate Walter Moore during the 5pm hour. When it was time to take calls, the first caller posed a challenge to him that was obviously inspired by the Reconquista mayor's affair with the Telemundo reporter covering him (literally). For those who don't know, the reporter, Mirthala Salinas, was actually the anchor on the air announcing the break up of Villaraigosa's marriage. I wonder if that was a TV first. Caller question: "Walter, I know of at least one candidate who will not take the pledge, but will you take a pledge...

Moore also differs sharply from the five major candidates in his stance on illegal immigration. He thinks the city should take an active role in pursuing and deporting illegal immigrants. "Am I just mean?" he asked. "Am I racist? No. Illegal immigration is bankrupting us." In a video spot on his website, he bluntly states: "I don't speak Spanish, and I don't intend to learn." When Moore began talking about immigration on a radio debate last week, he accomplished something unusual: He forced Hahn and some of his challengers to admit that they agree with one another.

Walter Moore is a 45-year-old business trial lawyer with 20 years' experience. Moore graduated with honors from Princeton and Georgetown Law; has a degree in Public and International Affairs; was an Editor of the Georgetown Law Journal; and taught legal research and writing. Moore is a moderate Republican, and is the only Republican running for mayor. Think a Republican can't win? Think again: Richard Riordan -- another moderate Republican, lawyer and Princeton man with no political experience -- was elected mayor twice in the 1990's. Plus, 26.2% of L.A. voted Republican in the recent presidential election -- which will give...
